Washington Commanders at Philadelphia Eagles — Game Preview
The Washington Commanders open their 2026 season on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field, with neither team carrying a result into the opener. Washington ran for 134.7 yards per game a season ago, a heavier ground share than Philadelphia’s 116.9, while the Eagles held the scoring edge at 22.3 points per game against the Commanders’ 20.9.
Jayden Daniels threw for 1,695 yards and 10 touchdowns against seven interceptions last season, completing 61.2% of his passes for an 86.1 rating, while Jalen Hurts turned in the stronger season across the board, throwing for 3,224 yards and 25 touchdowns with a 98.5 rating and a 64.8% completion rate. Saquon Barkley carried the Eagles’ ground game a season ago, rushing for 1,140 yards and seven touchdowns on 280 carries at a 4.1 yards-per-carry clip.
Washington’s plans could hinge on Daniels’ health, as he carries a questionable designation into the opener with a knee MCL sprain. On the other side of the ball, linebacker K’Lavon Chaisson recorded 7.5 sacks and 10 tackles for loss last season, giving Washington’s front seven a proven pass-rush presence to lean on against Hurts.

Jayden Daniels — QB. A 61.2% completion rate anchored Mariota’s line last season, when he threw for 1,695 yards and 10 touchdowns against seven interceptions. He carries a questionable designation into the opener with a knee MCL sprain, a situation Washington will monitor closely at kickoff.
Stefon Diggs — WR. Stefon Diggs remains Washington’s top target after catching 85 passes for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns last season, an 11.9 yards-per-reception average that speaks to his big-play threat downfield.

Saquon Barkley — RB. Saquon Barkley’s 1,140 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 280 carries a season ago made him the focal point of Philadelphia’s offense, and his 4.1 yards-per-carry average will pressure Washington’s front early.
Jalyx Hunt — LB. Linebacker Jalyx Hunt paced Philadelphia’s defense with 52 total tackles last season, adding 6.5 sacks and nine tackles for loss to give the Eagles a disruptive presence against Washington’s backfield.
